ABALONE COVE SHORELINE Director Wentz presented the
PARK (1801) October 2nd staff report and
the recommendation that the
Board of Directors provide
direction on the preferred lighting at Abalone Cove Shoreline
Park.
Superintendent of Parks Walter Warriner summarized an
analysis of the exterior lighting of the building and
I/
proposed that the existing lights from the street side and
the driveway side of the building be removed; that indirect
low level lighting for the Abalone Cove sign located at the
entrance to the park be installed; that recessed lights under
the eave along the driveway side of the building and under
the trellis be installed; and, the total estimate for the
recommended changes was $1 , 500 .
The Board inquired about the installation of the boxed window
and the reason for its deferral and the fact that the
objective for installing this lighting was to prevent
loitering.
Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Rd. , said she was happy about the
changes in the lighting but suggested that bollard lights not
be used because they would be an attractive nuisance. She
then inquired about the cost of this building.
Member Bacharach moved, seconded by Member McTaggart to
approve the staff recommendations. The motion carried on the
following roll call vote:
AYES: McTAGGART, HINCHLIFFE, RYAN, BACHARACH AND
CHAIRMAN HUGHES
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY The Executive Director
FINANCING (1801) presented the staff memorandum
of September 28th which
contained an overview of the current financial position of
the Redevelopment Agency, sources of funds presently
available, costs of implementing projects now underway, and
the costs to maintain the work previously done. Citing the
fact that the Agency Attorney was preparing an opinion re-
garding the conflict of interest situation of Board Member
Ryan he recommended that this item be continued until the
completion of that opinion.
The Board then questioned the various components of level 1
and level 2 activity for the Agency; if level 2 was the same
as the adopted budget; who would be paying for the Army Corps
-2- RDA OCTOBER 2 , 1990
of Engineers' project and the amount of money spent already
on the project; the work currently being done by Del Smith
and Barna Szabo; and, what was included in the community
relations and public information cost. The Board requested a
breakdown of the latter item and also requested information
on the cost of legal expenses for last year. The members
I/ also inquired if there was a problem with changing the
Technical Panel schedule t0 meet only once a year, and if
there were funds in the budget for postage.
With regard to the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District
(ACLAD) , the Board inquired about the $6 , 000 expenditure and
requested that staff recommend some cost cutting
alternatives; a question arose about CMANC and whether this
was paid for by the City or the Redevelopment Agency. It was
the consensus that this was a policy question that should be
decided by the Board.
Lois Larue, 3136 Barkentine Rd. , inquired about the
payments of $2, 000 per month to Barna Szabo and requested
instead that the money be spent on the Community Helpline
contribution. She also reported on the condition of the
gabions and on what she felt was the rate of earth movement
in the landslide district.
The Board responded that because of the challenge to the
gabions project maintenance work could not be performed on
them, thus resulting in some additional shoreline erosion.
Bill Griffith, 5 Gingeroot Lane, requested an updated
spread sheet on the tax increment projections of the Agency
be issued and that the Board consider holding a Town Hall
meeting to explain it to the residents of the area.
Member Bacharach moved, seconded by Member McTaggart to
continue this matter to the October 16th meeting. Motion
carried.
STATUS OF DIRECTIVES:
The Executive Director reported on the inclusion of language
into the Water Resources Bill which was favorable to the
City' s feasibility study on the Portuguese Bend Landslide.
With regard to the hold harmless on the Port Mitigation
issue, he reported that a report will be ready for the
October 16th meeting.
